Wow . . . imagine, what if it became illegal to possess these things here? What would I do with these - and I just ordered another batch of MBWs from George. I guess I'd need a BIG safety deposit box in a foreign bank somewhere. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes my wife would freankin kill or divorce me if I embarrassed her by being arrested for counterfeit goods. She pays most of the bills so I really dont have much to say in the matter. I think all of you are terrific and taltend guys being able to fix a broken watch when all I can do is just stare at it.

You're in the US, right? They can't arrest you for a replica watch or two. You need to be trafficking in watches and have a few hundred for sale before they arrest you.

Bill Man Bill, forgot about your collection there for a second, but that picture brought the memory right back. quick question, does any of your winder still work well? I had one of the 8 watch, 4 winder box, and I used to had it on constantly, and needless to say, it died in a few months, and now none of the motor work at all. Just curious to know if yours is still "turning" along..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just GOOGLED a story about a man who was spotted by ROLEX lawyers wearing a counterfeit watch. He was arrested and sentence to 6 months in jail where he was reportedly sodomized repeatedly.

You contact Rolex and tell them that there is a nasty man in SW Florida with a HUGE pile of counterfeit Rollies and have them come chat with me about it. Neither Rolex, nor their attorneys, nor their investigators, have the authority to arrest anyone. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 Neither Rolex, nor their attorneys, nor their investigators, have the authority to arrest anyone. ...and any tale that ends in six months of buggery is apocryphal as that is more of a story than the reason for being imprisoned.

ahchard Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 Haha... this topic is funny... there is nothing wrong with taking a few watches when you travel to asia... as long as you don't bring a whole briefcase of watches like the others mentioned... I think one on your wrist and maybe another 2 in the bag is ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finepics Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 Such paranoia!!! If your watch was attached to a pound of semtex as a timing device than I could see that customs might take exception to that!!! I carry a couple of thousand £ worth of camera gear with me on travels and a couple of watches - never been an issue and I have not pre registered my camera gear! What possible reason would there be for a customs dude to stop you for having 2 watches - one of which you would be wearing!! Unless of course you were sweating over the crack in your [censored]!!!
